Yes.
Andrew, some day we should launch a Margrave hunt. Haven’t seen one in eons.

My proposal: Any noble House that was sovereign at the time of the Vienna Congress should be so again, unless they are currently living within a monarchy. The historic family seat and some surrounding land should be ceded to the house by the current republic, whenever possible. Any EU resident that wishes could apply to be a subject of any of these sovereign houses.

Two things:
1. This shows what I’ve thought is the great irony of this age: In the event that the West goes to hell, Africa will likely, for a season at least, become the repository of the institutions and, to some degree, the culture of Western Civilization.
2. I am not a monarchist, save when it comes to other peoples monarchies. But a European House of Sovereigns is the best idea I’ve heard in a while.
